Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Costa Mesa

Our kids' Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program in Costa Mesa is built for children as young as 3 years old. Through age-appropriate, engaging instruction, kids develop coordination, discipline, and real self-defense skills — all while having fun and making friends on the mats.

Classes are broken out by age and experience level, including our Baby Sharks program for the youngest students and Praia Kids 1 & 2 for growing skill levels. Coaches focus on building confidence both on and off the mat.
